Book Review: The Sacred Formulas of the Cherokees
Summary: 4 Stars
If you are interested in an anthropological view of the sacred formulas of the Cherokee then this will be an enjoyable book for you. It is informative and quite detailed, however I'd take it with a grain of salt, because a lot of the information written by studiers of the Native cultures did not get their information correct and also were not told the full truths when it came to those cultures sacred teachings.
Summary of The Sacred Formulas of the Cherokees (Forgotten Books)
This is an ethnographic description of Cherokee shamanistic practice. Based on several manuscripts written by Cherokee shamans of the 19th Century, this includes the actual text of the rituals to treat various diseases, information on herbs used, love spells, hunting rituals, weather spells, as well as a spell for victory in the Ball game.

James Mooney (1861 - 1921)
James Mooney (1861-1921) was an American anthropologist who lived for several years among the Cherokee. He was born at Richmond, Indiana. In 1885 he became connected with the Bureau of American Ethnology at Washington, D.C. He compiled a tribal list containing 3,000 titles. His most notable work was his ethnographic study of the Ghost Dance, a widespread religious movement among various Native American culture groups that ended in 1890 with a bloody massacre of Lakota people at Wounded Knee, South Dakota.
